Chloe was born March 30, 1924 to Caroline Rebecca Walton Wartenbe and Claud Irl Wartenbe in Lone Prairie, BC. She was named Chloe Ruth after two of her mothers great aunts. When she was 9 days old, her mother died and she went to live with her aunt and uncle. Except for a three year visit to Missouri when she was 3 years old and an 18 month church mission to Los Angeles, Chloe lived all her life in the Groundbirch, Lone Prairie, East Pine, and Dawson Creek areas.

They had five children over the course of 21 years and so ended up with their youngest children being not much older than their oldest grandchildren. Chloe lived many years with no electricity and many more without running water. They always had a big garden and welcomed many people to their home. Chloe cooked thousands of meals for hundreds of people on her wood stove. She was always whipping up a meal for whoever was around. Allan passed away in November 1991 and Chloe married Bill Warn on January 2, 1999. They had almost 5 years together before he too passed away.

She lived there until she went into hospital late January of this year. Chloe made many friends over the years and will be remembered by many. Chloes faith and church attendance were vital to her and a part of her. Her quiet faith and dedication were an inspiration to many, even up to her final days in care.
